SUMMARY
=======
 
You can set many of the settings in the Srcsafe.ini file from the interface
by using the tabbed dialog boxes in the Visual SourceSafe Administrator. In
SourceSafe versions 3.x, none of the settings were available from the
interface. This article lists the options that are available in the Visual
SourceSafe Administrator, and the settings they modify in the Srcsafe.ini
file.
